1979 Pontiac Trans Am Description

But when you go for one that has been given a superior restoration, including performance rebuild of the V8, you can truly run hard from Atlanta to Texarkana in this slick black 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.As a real-deal Y84 Special Edition T/A, this one nails the Bandit look in every way that matters. You can tell there was plenty of time and money invested in a professional respray so that the modern clearcoat helps it earn its Starlight Black name. Plus, the iconic hood bird looks so bold that it's to be feared, and all the lettering on every side is crisp and clear against the midnight paintjob. Matching this gold accent package are of course, the legendary snowflake 15-inch alloys."Black is beautiful," is the first thing Burt Reynolds said when he saw his Trans Am in the Bandit sequel, and this interior follows that line perfectly. The high back vinyl bucket seats look factory fresh, and they have the kind of all-day comfort that would keep you happy bootlegging beer all across the South. The carpets, door panels, center console, and every other key dark piece of this car have all been expertly preserved or replaced so this T/A retains its full dark luster. But this Trans Am doesn't just feel like midnight inside. Just like the exterior trim, there are plenty of bright spots. The driver gets to sit behind factory the sports steering wheel with the gold three-spoke design. And beyond that is the machined aluminum dash that came on these upper-class Trans Ams. You'll notice this has all the correct gauges, right down to the clock/tach combo. So this is the right kind of performance presentation to get your heart racing the moment you turn the key.Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 403 cubic-inch V8.
